Default Replaced my speedometer and brake caliper.

Finally found a used replacement and installed it. Tested fine and had 26 K miles on odometer so mine was at 14 K so all I can do is make a note in my service manual.
Also replaced the left front brake caliper due to a constant drip. Saved the old one for pads are still good and can rebuild it if needed. Or if someone else needs one to rebuild.
Just happy everything is working again.
Added a USB dual port with voltmeter mounted on bars and spliced (soldered) into the low beam yellow wire to be able to keep my phone charged when using maps.
Will do complete oil change soon.

I didn't know that they used a U clamp, I figured they bolted to the forward control/foot peg bolts.

Thanks again,

they usually do mount to the forward control mount but with the holes already occupied the u-clamps have to be used. That’s what I’m going to have to do since I went from mids to forwards.

Bought new rotor and pads as Saturday my rear brakes decided to stop working. When I stopped to look at them the rotor is screwed and the pads are stuck out. So I will be fixing that here soon

I think I'm at around 26xxx-28xxx somewhere in that ballpark and they are factory. When the caliper got stuck it grinded the pad all the way down and then grinded into the caliper

Had a look at the new paint today but the clears are not added to give it depth and life. I have seen and love the paint in how it will finish but was very pleased with the decals I had done and were added over silver base coat and peeled off after top coats were applied. The blue is much darker and deeper than it shows here as the winter light was not good to show true colour but will get that shown after it is all back together and I can get it in the right light. Have a set of 3 degree stearing head bearing cups and 3 inch over slugs on the way to add a little extra up front.
